Not sure what this is in reference to exactly. Nvidia supply Linux drivers for their cards. There's probably more (really) high-end GPUs in Linux boxes than Windows these days (super computers, machine learning, crypto mining, etc).
Something must have changed then.  It sure didn't yoostaby this way.

It certainly has! These days Nvidia and their hardware are driving forward computational science as well as worrying about frame rates for Windows gamers. That stuff is almost exclusively done on Linux. I work in a university and I'd hazard a guess that we have > 1000 NVidia cards across the campus in clusters, servers and desktops all running various flavours of Linux Smile
